Jersey City Ranked 24th in Growth

U-Haul, the do-it-yourself moving company has ranked the top growth cities in the United States, based on their customer transactions. Newark ranked 17th on the survey, and Jersey City squeezed by as 24th on the list of cities with 5,000 to 10,000 family moves. Jersey City failed to make the list in 2006. However, since the data relies on U-Haul transactions, the data favors cities with less wealth; residents with more money are less likely to haul their own stuff.
